Making mobile broadband networks mission critical
06 November 2025
With commercial mobile networks playing an increasingly important role in the mission-critical communications market, there are essential capabilities that must be implemented to ensure the networks deliver mission-critical services for end users. For first responders in particular, a delayed connection or dropped call can mean the difference between life and death.
One essential network capability is Quality of Service, Priority and Pre-emption – more commonly referred to QPP. Mission-critical mobile broadband networks need to implement QPP mechanisms to enable mission-critical services, securing mission-critical users’ operations and communications by giving them priority over non-mission-critical users/traffic in time of need, when both are sharing the same network.

Thomas Portois, Senior Manager, Product, Telesat
Satellite technology has traditionally been considered a last-resort option by telecom operators to reach remote populations. Challenges such as high costs for satellite bandwidth and equipment, along with compatibility issues with established telecom standards, have hindered the realization of its full potential in the telecom ecosystem.
This scenario is swiftly changing due to the introduction of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite networks. Interest in LEO constellations has exploded in recent years, fueled by ubiquitous, high-throughput, low-latency connectivity, coupled with disruptive pricing. These new capabilities change the space-based connectivity equation entirely and greatly increase the addressable market for enterprise connectivity. Telesat estimates that this market will reach $320B by 2032.
